YAy!!!!!
Just to Anoy you guys!!!
Microbats
Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly, unlike Flying Squirrels which actually glide instead of flying.Bats are more efficient than birds at keeping the insect population down. In fact, a single Little Brown Bat can catch an average of 6,000 mosquitos in one night,which is 10 hours to the bat.
Bats are divided into two major groups based on diet, size; or habitat. These groups are Megabats and Microbats.
Microbats
Microbats are the only bats found in North America. Microbats are carnivores, eating insects, small mammals, blood, and fish.(Which is the biggest difference between Microbats and Megabats.)
And The average insect eating micro- bat’s AVERAGE number of insects eaten in 10 hours is higher than an average insect eating bird’s MAX!
They are also a lot smaller than Megabats, Microbats range from 1.2’’ to 3’’,wile Megabats range from 2.4’’ to 16’’.
Microbats in the Northeastern United State consist of: Northern Big-Eared, Little brown, Big Brown, Eastern Pipistrelle, Indian, Small-Footed, Silver-Haired, Red, Hoary, Seminole, and Evening. Microbats are also the mane bats that use Echolocation.
Echolocation
Echolocation is like sonar, in fact, sonar is based of echolocation.
Echolocation is sending out high pitched sounds, and when they hit something they bounce back to the bat and the bat decodes them basically. But the sounds are so high
pitched that they would make the bat deff,
so they have a ear-lid that close when they send out the high pitched sounds, and they open them to receive them. To the human ear it gust sounds like clicking, but to the bat it’s much more complex and important.
The Bat’s Eyesight
Bat’s eyesight is extremely powerful, they see in the dark like we see in the daylight, thats 10 times stronger than humans. With Echolocation and Incredible eyesight and sent of smell they are incredible hunters.
Predators
Bats do have some predators though.
Thankfully they tend to roost in high places or in caves making them hard to reach. there mane predators are: owls, hawks, snakes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and even some tarantulas.
Vampire Bats
Vampire Bats are the only species of bat
that drink blood, and . there mane victims are farm animals, but they will very rarely bite a human on the wrist or ankle. Vampire Bats are terribly afraid of motion so they will only bite animals that are asleep. When the Vampire Bat feeds it makes a small hole ,usually in the ankle, with its specially designed front teeth, then laps up the blood with its tong.Vampire bats are the only kind of bat known for carrying diseases. If you think that all bats are terrible blood thirsty monsters that bite people all the time, than you misunderstood somewhere; Bats are the only times people get bit by bats is the rare bite from a Vampire Bat, when a human interferes with a bat, or if a human gets near one with rabies( Which is rare)
White Nose Syndrome(WNS)
In November 2006 some cavers found hundreds of died bats in a cave in New York.
These bats had a strange white unidentified fungus on there noses; this was the first siting of WNS. 2 months later in Massachusetts people reported that bats where flying around in the late morning/early afternoon; and since bats are nocturnal, and these don’t come out till late March/ early April.These bats had WNS.

That is really interesting! I read a series of science fiction books about a bat named Shade when I was in high school. It was a neat blend of fact and well-told fiction. You might enjoy them. They're called Silverwing, Firewing, Darkwing, and Sunwing, by Kenneth Oppel. -

It's a good thing you have a few words spelled incorrectly or I'd accuse you of plagiarism :)
